G C I've been a wild rover for many a year G D G I spent all me money on whiskey and beer G C But now I'm returning with gold in great store G D G And I never will play the wild rover no more Chorus: D G C And it's no nay never, no nay never no more G C D G Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more I went to an alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady my money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay Sure a custom like yours I could get any day" Chorus And from my pocket I took sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes, they lit up with delight She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best And the words that I spoke, sure were only in jest" Chorus I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And if they forgive me as oft-times before Then I promise I'll play the wild rover no more Chorus - x2 | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
